Plan Description
The Intermediate 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Program is specifically designed to help you prepare for the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. Here's how the plan aligns with the racecourse:
Swim (1.9 km) – Calm, Warm Waters at Baywalk Park
✅ Base Phase Focus on Strength & Technique: The first 12 weeks prioritize swim efficiency, improving stroke mechanics, and developing muscular endurance—crucial for a smooth, powerful swim in Puerto Princesa’s warm, buoy-marked waters.
✅ Open Water & Tempo Training: Later phases introduce open-water simulations, tempo sessions, and pacing drills to prepare for the race’s conditions, ensuring confidence and speed on race day.
Bike (90 km) – Rolling, Two-Loop Course
✅ Progressive Endurance & Power Training: The plan gradually increases bike mileage, helping you handle Puerto Princesa’s rolling terrain. Structured power-based workouts ensure you sustain effort over long distances.
✅ V02 Max & Threshold Intervals: Key sessions improve aerobic capacity, enabling you to tackle climbs efficiently while maintaining speed on flat sections.
✅ Brick Workouts: These simulate race conditions, helping you transition smoothly from cycling to running—essential for the two-loop bike course leading into the run.
Run (21.1 km) – Three Loops with an Uphill Start
✅ Gradual Increase in Run Volume: The plan ensures your legs adapt to distance and terrain variations, preparing for the course’s steady uphill start and rolling profile.
✅ Anaerobic Threshold & Race Pace Training: These workouts boost endurance and help you manage pace effectively across the three-loop run.
✅ Strength & Recovery Focus: Hill training and strategic recovery weeks prevent fatigue and build resilience for the hot, humid race-day conditions.
Optimized for Puerto Princesa’s Race-Day Conditions
🔥 Heat Acclimatization Strategies: Training intensity adjustments help prepare for race-day temperatures of 86°F (30°C), reducing heat stress and improving hydration strategies.
🔄 Periodization for Peak Performance: A structured 3-week load / 1-week recovery cycle ensures maximum gains while preventing overtraining.
